HATING.
The American cardinals held another reception
In the palace OF the propaganda In Rome yester-
day and the attendance was as large as that Of
Monday. At the reception OF the new French car
dinal recently elevated to the purple which was
held yesterday, ladies were denied admittance as
1t Is contrary to etiquette on such occasions The
rair Sex, however, were again admitted to the re-
cept1oH by the American cardinals in Difference to
the wishes OF Cardinal Gibbons who insisted that
II was an American custom, and as he was an
American, their presence was desirable. The rule
was, therefore, set aside for the time being and
the cardinals gallantry was rewarded by a per-
feet avalanche OF ladies who swar1ned about him
ana Wed with each other In doing him honor.
